Core Tip
Core Tip: Patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL), whether accompanied by vertigo or not, often show impaired vestibular function. By observing the extraction rate and various parameter indicators of vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) in different age groups of SSHL patients, we found that the extraction rate of VEMPs is more valuable, and the Group II (aged 41–60 years) with the highest number of SSHL cases, and patients aged 41-60 years had the highest number of profound hearing loss and the lowest cervical-VEMPs extraction rate in affected ear. The results indicates that SSHL aged 41-60 years old patients are more susceptible to damage to the inferior vestibular nerve and saccule.
